Stochastic analysis of edge detectors can be made either by theoretical modeling of the image formation process and the edge detectors or by empirical stochastic analysis of the edge locations. In this paper we study and model the image formation process in detail. In particular the much neglected discretisation process is modelled and taken into account. This makes it possible to define and analy
Abstract in French L’étude de l’effet d’amorçage syntaxique (syntactic priming) permet d’examiner la relation (potentielle) entre input et output dans l’interaction. On observe un effet d’amorçage lorsque la présentation d’un item (l’amorce) facilite le traitement ultérieur d’un item similaire (la cible). L’amorçage syntaxique ou structurel est un phénomène de réutilisation de la structure syntaxi
Railway accidents where children are injured or killed cause sorrow and grief in all those involved. These accidents are more common than often believed. Thus, 29 children and adolescents have been killed or seriously injured on the Swedish railways during the last three years. In this project, children’s and adolescents’ accidents in connection with trains and railways are charted and classified.
This essay reflects on the strive for realism and intensified experiences in contemporary forms of Mixed Martial Arts contests. It elaborates on the cultural meaning of violence and on the representation of violence in television versus the experience of real, bodily violence. The main theoretical tools are theories of culture, visuality, masculinity, and violence, developed by Roland Barthes, Geo
Popular Abstract in Swedish Elektriska pulser (PEF) är en nyligen introducerad icke-termisk livsmedelsprocess, som har en karakteristisk påverkan på cellmembranet. PEF-behandling innebär att livsmedlet utsätts för korta och upprepade pulser emellan en anod och en katod. Det huvudsakliga resultatet av denna process är en skada på cellmembranet, som leder till bildandet av antingen tillfälliga ellerA pulsed electric field (PEF) is a newly emerged non-thermal food processing technology which has characteristic effects on the cell membrane. PEF processing involves subjecting food to short, repeated pulses of a high electric field between an anode and a cathode. The main result of this process is the disruption of the cell membrane leading to the formation of either temporary or permanent pores
This paper describes the optimization of the word lengths in an 8 k-points pipelined FFT processor. The word lengths can be freely chosen since the FFT is implemented as a full custom ASIC. According to the specification, input and output word lengths are 12 bits but improved performance on be achieved by using a longer wordlength internally. Increased wordlength means increased size, both for mem
Popular Abstract in Swedish När vi tänker på skönlitteraturen får den gärna en drömmande klang som för tankarna till främmande platser långt borta från vardagen. Samtidigt kan skönlitteraturen måla upp slående bilder av världen och övertygande sätta in politiska och kulturella frågor i ett större meningsfullt sammanhang. Ingenstans blir detta tydligare än i Brands skönlitteratur. I det ungsocialisThis study delves into the relationship between fiction and politics, aesthetic and ethical messages conveyed by the fictions of Brand (Fire), the journal of the Young Socialist Association, founded as the Social Democratic Labour Party’s first youth association. The literary and aesthetic arena allowed many different kinds of ideas and thoughts to flourish, making Brand an important cultural pape
Popular Abstract in SwedishKontraktsstyrning i teori och praktikUnder de senaste decennierna har användningen av kontraktsstyrning ökat i både privat och offentlig sektor. Det finns ett stort intresse för styrformens egenskaper. Kontraktsstyrning diskuteras ibland som en tredje form av styrning, en sorts mellanform av idealtyperna marknad och hierarki. Frågan är dock vad som karaktäriserar denna sThe general aim of this thesis is to develop an increased understanding of contract management as a mode of governance. A specific aim has been to explore how complex municipal services are managed by contract. A framework for analysis of contract management was developed by combining elements from interorganisational theories with different perspectives, such as transaction cost theories, network
